V-Picks - Why are they better?

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Vinni is one of the nicest guys out there. And a killer guitar player as well.

[@kenaiello4851]

Robert Baker He sent me extra picks they do sound better over Ultex or tortex!

[@OTCRock4one]

+Robert Baker I use the V-Pick: "Screamer" Love it! Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top uses V-Picks!

[@zzzhuh]

I remember seeing these things back in 2010 IIRC. They were good, but they don't make me play any better haha.

[@Vaedh]

V picks are expensive, but hell they are awesome.

[@telefunkenyou47]

I love all my V-Picks. I collect and use them all. My fav at the moment is the “Big Fatty”. It’s close to a Carlos pick but with a little more point to it. It’s the three point design I like because of its size and rotate-able edges. The soft leather key chain ensures I have Big Fatty on me at all times.

[@trushack]

Just got my shipment of Lite Traditional Ghost Rims....great picks!

[@benmtz]

trushack Agreed! My fav pick as well :) I can’t go back

[@seanlheeger]

I moved up to a 2mm gator grip and a self in. Excellent results. I seriously want to try the v-pick make. The 3mm stubby are giving me great results so far. I play many flavors of rock guitar.

[@Claimjumper55]

I love V-Picks. I've tried quite a few different models and so far my favorites are the Screamer and the Dimension. I always have those 2 picks with me along with a Gravity Classic 3mm. The thicker picks allow me to use a more relaxed grip.

[@GlennMichaelThompson]

I've been using V-Picks for years now. What a great selection Vinni sent you... plus the leather pouch and customized picks w/ your logo. Very cool! BTW my favourite V-Pick is the Dimension Jr., and the Small Pointed or Diamond comes in as a great backup.

[@1687rlopez]

Your video just inspired me to go buy a whole bunch of v-picks just now. Thank you, your majesty! Can't wait to try them out!

[@GMec78]

The dude smoking the something would be one Rev billy F Gibbons. Vin sent you about $150 worth of product

[@fhdk227]

im totally in love with the mummy and the ppg large i also bought the onyx and the black hole didn't liked so i went back and bought 2 extra ppg large and mummy for back up

[@joeallen8563]

I have been using V-picks for a while and they are a great product. Friends even started using them also after they tried mine.

[@kurglekreutzer6344]

Haven't seen them anywhere personally, but I've heard a ton about them being the picks to get!

[@Alexander-iq5yq]

I like the euro II, its one of my favourites in terms of feel. But they make extra pick noise, like a harmonic "plink" as you hit the string, and the price is quite high. Vinnie actually sent me a pack of free picks a few years back after leaving a comment on one of his videos. Really cool guy, and the picks are definitely worth trying.

[@hutchfromba]

Thanks for all you do T.K. I'm finding that I am more and more partial to Chicken Picks 2.7 mm , BERMUDA's. . Blues On....

[@thetonekingofficial]

+HUTCHfromBA haha, thanks Hutch. yeah, the CPs are awesome!!

[@sebassie25]

I think i'll give them a go. Thanks for the introduction

[@nfamousonline]

The Tone King with you wearing that RUN DMC shirt reminds me of a song they did in 1986 with Aerosmith - walk this way.

[@utubehound69]

I tried em all & Dunlop Nylon is the Best .88 over all i you know how to use them. I've been using my fingers like jeff beck & others but what I normaly play it's good to play w/out a pick so WHEN you drop one & can't access one you can make it thru a song & not choke on a song in the middle. Just my 2 cents I'd like to try one if the tip is like an propeller edge. I've seen one I got @ a Vinnie Vincent show back in the day Pink Uggg. But Fast!

[@utubehound69]

Nightpick I've used Milk Jugs as picks cut out that is in the shape I wanted , even credit cards make a good pick cut em out with the raised letters & #'s help for a grip. Yes I have used the Lil Stuby & the Gator Grip…My favorites are from Dunlop , The Nylon don't get grooves worn in the edges as quick as plastic picks IF you do pick slides. What yer string Co.? I'm a Dean Markley man

[@utubehound69]

Nightpick Man I'd like to try those Gtr Research Bass Strings for $2 !!!! Wow I need to resting a Bass now & I dread paying for those 4 strings Ouch! Local Shop's are High around here I'm just grateful no more Black Diamond Strings cause that was all you could find local for years that was back in the day. Even in Bigger stores had more to chose from so I tried Fender, Gibson strings & they were Bad but the Fender Bullets were Ok then I tried Dean Markley & used em for years then they come out w/frozen strings heated strings… hard to find the Regular Brand , awhile back I got a dead on pure nickel Jimi Hendrix Dean Markley's for like a $1 a set I bought box of em. I'd still like someone to spill the beans on the String Biz. I say that because you see Ernie Ball players that are on the Adverts saying they played them for 20 30 yrs…but some Artist I know played or endorsed Dean Markley in the 80's & 90's How does that work? Don't they know people remember these things? lol

[@utubehound69]

Nightpick Thx! Just ordered a Set & some other stuff I needed.

[@MichaelSewgoolam]

Dunlop's Jazz III MaxGrip Carbon fiber picks works perfectly for me

[@CCHCraig]

These are great picks! I have a bunch of these. I like the Switchblade and Screamer best. They're not the cheapest picks around but well worth the money. I'd recommended them to all TK subscribers.

[@skatetodeath666]

They good for all around playing ?

[@predator12212112]

ive never ever seen TK wear a fedora

[@bassfishingwiththeantichri2921]

The Psycho & Big Fattie our my faves right now. (5.85 mm). The Carlos Santana is a great one that lasts forever.

[@SuperJBrowne]

Meh, Dunlop Jazz III XL's have suited me fine, the only time I drop them is when I'm holding it in my mouth during tapping runs.

[@CyddGuilbeaux]

yes same here seems like all these companies try and copy there design or over design the pick lol

[@GlennMichaelThompson]

V-Picks have been around since the 1970's. I doubt Vinni's ever even thought about copying another manufacturer's pick(s). You just have to try one of his 3mm or thicker picks to see how much they can add to one's playing.

[@grmusic]

The BEST for sure!!!!

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Are these similar sounding to Blue Chips? Love my blue chips, but would like a more ergonomic pick and trying one of his super thick ones.

[@montoyamusic1613]

Anybody like the new Marcus Miller Dunlop strings ?!?!

[@davyblue1151]

Gravity Guitar picks was employed by Vinni and V picks. and learned his craft by Vinni. then stole the idea's and changed the colors and gave them a new shiny name.

[@trushack]

Just picked up a couple more :)

[@bernieorbust6104]

so how do you like the picks to play with? any favourites?

[@toolizawesome]

HA! My name is Vinny. I should pick some of these up! Its weird watching this video.

[@fheliojr]

Will there be a giveway of one of those TTK custom V-pick? :P

[@candydormizzi2500]

These picks chirp like a baby bird

[@edwardtang1977]

do you live in a space rover or lander?😁

[@jbrosupra]

Mine still slip around. Soooo

[@williamdeka2055]

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but tone king just reminds me of gibby

[@ginsylim6530]

0:45 no pun intended

[@lydpik]

Haha, just saw the other video on how much he likes the Chickenpicks... That's not confusing alt all... :-)

[@thetonekingofficial]

+lydpik I like both. Seriously. I use V-Picks and Chicken Picks. You can't go wrong with either.

[@lydpik]

+The Tone King thanks. :-)

[@BlaineLudeman]

[@thetonekingofficial]

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

[@thetonekingofficial]

And yes, we good!

[@BlaineLudeman]

***** i honestly forgot/ didn't think about the kids. so young and on youtube comments! whoo.. i actually went from fender type heavy's to jazz when i got more into more prog, blues, jazz sessions gigging bands and you can past my metal roots but they weren't right either. i probably would dig all these new fangled pick but w/e lol.. i keep passing out before your shows an it sucks! i even log in 10 mins before and blank, next day dammit lol!

[@thetonekingofficial]

I am getting tired of the 2 minutes to midnight thing too. :-) gets tougher and tougher every year! Thanks man. Appreciate the dialogue. Catch u ltr on \m/

[@TheDogPa]

[@JeDxDeVu]

[@DeltaOracle257]

[@ajpeagle]

Not better , too much pick noise.
